Meet Gitanjali Rao, Time Magazine's first-ever Kid of the Year
Today we have a special episode featuring an old friend of ours -- scientist and inventor Gitanjali Rao. Time Magazine recently named her the first-ever Kid of the Year!
We first met Gitanjali back in 2018, when she was the co-host for a series of episodes we did all about water. Back then, she was a 12 year old who had recently won 2017 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
Now, she's a very busy 15 year-old who is an inventor, STEM advocate and author. Molly and Gitanjali chat about how kids can turn their ideas into reality, and why kids shouldn't be afraid to share their viewpoints and skills with the world -- we need them!
Gitanjali has also written a book, which you can check out here.
Also, you can hear Gitanjali judge a very science-y Smash Boom Debate: Helium vs Neon!
Check out the water series that Gitanjali co-hosted:
- What’s in your water?
- The wonderful weirdness of water
- Keeping water healthy, one clue at a time
- Burning rivers of fire
